The TIS Parent Group supports the TIS family by raising money for school supplies and activities while serving as a collective TIS parent voice and passionate advocates for our school. Click here to review Parent Group by-laws approved in October 2010.
Most family events like the welcome back potluck, movie nights, spelling bee and the end of year picnic were also underwritten by the Parent Group. Click here to see last year's Plans and Budget.
The Parent Group meets the first Wednesday of every month at 6:00pm in the TIS Lunch Room. Notes on the meeting are emailed to all parents who attend and to any parent who wishes to receive them.
